Half a dozen times, the thing stalled just as it was about to break through the bottom of the ice. I spent over $1000 on this thing with extra battery and carry bag. I'm not impressed!! Anyone who has a good gas auger like my old Lazer Pro, stay away from this electric garbage. With a gas auger you can easily drill 100 plus holes in a day, just keep filling up the fuel tank. I can't believe I fell for the hype that a few guys on here were spewing. My 15 year old Lazer Pro can drill close to twice as fast.
I have the same issues. I primarily use my Jiffy 3HP for all trips. Electric is nice and lite with little noise but I prefer oil and gas. Same goes with vehicles.
